Challenges
• Code reduces everything to binary in a computer’s elementary logic
gates
• construction contracts look like they are binary IF and THEN but are
not
• Problem remains that computer programs cannot, in the end, be built
from a foundation that tolerates ambiguity.
• Human judgment remains in terms of situation sense – Oracle role?

How to get involved…
• UWE regularly bids for research
funding and we would welcome
your involvement
• Transforming Construction
Network Plus
• Innovate UK

Any questions?
• Thank you
